Oman weather: Rain disrupts traffic in several wilayats

Muscat: Heavy rains fell in wilayat of South Sharqiah due to the indirect impact of tropical cyclone Kyarr on Wednesday.

According to a statement issued by Royal Oman Police (ROP), authorities are trying to clear dust and rocks that fell on the main road near Sur Dam. “Work is underway to clear the way, please be careful,” the statement said.

“Currently, Al Janaah valley is flowing in Sur, with traffic disruption on the road leading to Sur for those arriving via the Muscat-Sur road, please be careful.” ROP tweeted.

Meanwhile, ROP has warned drivers to take extra care on the roads connecting Sur and Ras Al Hadd as heavy rainfall has led to stranded cars and road closures. “Wadi Shiaa flows with a break in traffic on the road linking Sur and Ras Al Hadd, please pay attention,” ROP tweeted on Wednesday.
